You are iffy because it's a dumb idea. That's because 2+2=4 isn't a rule or a set property-- it's simply a label. If there were a universe where math worked differently, you'd just have different labels for whatever THAT reality was. In any universe where there are 2 and 2, and the capacity to add, it will always be 4-- whatever you choose to call it. And if 2 + 2 = magic unicorn, then magic unicorn is just another representation of "4."
But goblygoop giving them 5 is okay, or not?
